Are you a teacher looking to expand your library but you’re not quite sure where to look? Are your book shelves full of great books that students have already read and you’re looking for something new? I tend to find myself looking for a good book to read but realize with a crazy schedule, it is just tough to get to my library and figure out what it is I want to read. With Epic!-Unlimited Books for Kids, you can have access to over 15,000 books with an application you can download to any device.
Epic!-Unlimited Books for Kids starts as a free application for children and students ages 6-8 and after a 30-day free trial, you are required at sign-up to enter your account information to continue to use the application. It is a monthly charge which is not too expensive on the wallet. Instead of constantly buying a new book for your child or student for $5 or more, you can have access to thousands of books that are digitally sent to your device in seconds. Even better, Epic’s library is updated weekly and is filled with so many genres and different types of books for the young reader. The application will also recommend books for you to read to eliminate your student or children’s uncertainty of what to choose. As children read, they also earn rewards and badges which is a fun way to incentivize reading.
Another valuable component of this application is that you can choose which type of account you want to use. If you’re a parent looking for books for your children, you can choose the Home account which will give you access to books from the comfort of your own home. If you are a teacher, you can choose the Educator account and access books for your classroom. Either account has access to books that are read-to-me so if you’re a busy parent or teacher and cannot sit with your child or student to read the book, the application will do this for you.
Finding the right book to read can be challenging especially for our young children. The Epic! Unlimited Books for Kids application is definitely a great way to motivate your student or child to read!
